2008 Rm250 Specs
In 1975, the RM (racing machine) was introduced to the world, and the year 2008 brings us the last of the RM250 two-strokes. In most situations this article would be a first impression ride, but sadly this is our last introductory ride on the quarter liter machine, thus being our "last impression." What has becoming commonplace among the manufacturers is the ceasing of production of the two-stroke. With Suzuki now a part of the group stopping the production of the RM250, it is just another nail in the coffin for the two-stroke.
Vital MX invited pro Turbo Reif to come out and give the Suzuki one last test for us, and he was not disappointed. Was he disappointed that another two stroke machine is being put to rest? Yes he was. Was he disappointed in what the RM250 is still capable of? No, he was not. At the track, it was very easy to hear the familiar "braap" as Turbo put the bike through its paces, and it will be a sound that will be dearly missed by many. If you want to hear the sweet sounds of a two-stroke and also see it on video, ridden the way the way it was meant to, click here for one more trip down memory lane.
What is new to the bike this year? Well, what would a new bike be without "Bold New Graphics!" This year the bike also comes with Renthal aluminum tapered handlebars and a Renthal bar pad. Below you will find a breakdown of all of the other RM250 features.
